Everything You Need To Know About 'The Bear' Season 4

Is The Bear season 4 coming?

Yes, we finally have The Bear season 4 release date! The show will premiere on FX and Hulu June 15, 2025. We've gotten the three previous seasons the week of June 22, so this basically means we're getting season 4 a whole week early.

And in conjunction with Disney's Upfront on May 13, we got the first poster for the new season! I love the vivid blue, as well as how each character's personality shines through even though it's a still image. And the fact Carmy's the only one looking up is a little disorienting and isolates him from the rest of the kitchen. I'm locked in!

What is The Bear season 4 about?

The Bear season 4 will pick up after the season 3 ending, which saw the restaurant receive a review from The Chicago Tribune — we just don't know if it's good or bad.

A commercial during the Oscars surprised us with a new clip from The Bear season 4. It's pretty straightforward, but it finally addresses something I've known from the very beginning: the staff of The Bear restaurant are a family, y'all!!

"Sometimes I feel like your work family is part of your family family," Sydney says, while clips Richie, Marcus, Luca, and Sydney's dad play in the background. After all that drama at the end of season 3, not to mention the fact that Sydney accidentally stumbled upon a new job opportunity, this definitely looks like a job interview to me.

Maybe Sydney does go through with the interview for a new restaurant, but when she learns they don't approach staff life the same way, she realizes that, despite its (many) flaws, The Bear is her true family. We haven't even gotten a full episode and I'm making myself emotional!

Do Sydney and Carmy get together on The Bear?

One question I've had from the very beginning of the series is whether we'll see Sydney and Carmy couple up. And actors Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy Allen White finallyaddressed the rumorsduring season 3's press conference.

“There was no talk in the rooms about any romantic implications,” Jeremy said. “[Carmy's] not the best communicator, but he will often make a sort of grand gesture like that to try and communicate to Syd or the kitchen or whomever."

“He’s got a lot going on in his mind all the time, and people aren’t always aware of exactly what’s going on," he continued. "You’ll see, obviously, how that affects Carmen and Syd’s relationship, but I think Carmen’s trying to welcome her in a little bit was the point of the partnership agreement.”

“Carmy is somebody that I think she’s really looked up to, but now is sort of in the thick of doing business with,” Ayo added. “It’s, I think, a lot more chaotic than she might have idealized before they really started working together.”

Will there be a Bear season 5?

We haven't gotten an official announcement for The Bear season 5, but FX chairman John Landgraf told Variety that it's all up to creator Chris Storer.

"It's about how much more story does he have to tell?" he says. "I mean, obviously, I'm hoping he has more than one more season of story to tell. But not to the extent that if there was one great season or three mediocre ones, I'd rather have one great one."
